The Harder They Come

Jimmy Cliff

Oh yeah!Oh oh yeah, yeah!Alright.Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky,waiting for me when I die.But between the day you're born and when you die,they never seem to hear even your cry.So as sure as the sun will shine,I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine.And then the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all.Oooh, the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all!Well the oppressors are tryin' to keep me down, tryin' to drive me underground.And they think that they have got the battle won, I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done.'Cause as sure as the sun will shine,I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine.And then the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all.Oooh, the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all!Oh yeah.I said oh yeah, oh yeah!Oh yeah.And I keep on fighting for the things I want,though I know that when you're dead, you can't.But I'd rather be a free man in my gravethan living as a puppet or a slave.So as sure as the sun will shine,I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine.And then the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all.Oooh, the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all!Hey, the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all.Oooh, the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all!Oooh, the harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all!
